Front End Developer

Since we set out in 2012, Etch has worked with dozens of Startups and Multinational companies to design and engineer Software. We establish long-term relationships with clients to help them improve and maintain their online services.

We’re taking on more challenging projects and want to scale-up from a Trio to a Quartette. Plus we’ll be able to arrange that table tennis doubles match, at last!

We only work on about six products a year, which allows us to give projects our full focus and build a stronger understanding of the problem we’re solving.

Canterbury (near London) is our hometown, but we’re a distributed team so you can work from anywhere. We arrange quarterly meet-ups to bring everyone together and hang out for a few days.

YOUR ROLE

You’ll be creating, documenting and integrating awesome UI components. We work on a range of projects from standalone component libraries to full-stack isomorphic SSR React builds (that’s a mouthful!).

Etch’s UI libraries are handed over to client development teams to integrate into their apps. You’ll be supporting their teams and documenting your components so they become fully self-serve.

On our full-stack builds, you’ll be working with Jim, Gav and Josh to create awesome products used by thousands of people.

We use the best tools and services to keep our workflow as smooth as possible. Slack, Trello, Github, Heroku, Travis, Codacy, Snyk – to name a few.
